EFFECT OF DIFFERENT SEED PRIMING METHODS ON PERFORMANCE OF DIRECT BROADCAST SEEDED RICE (DBSR) IN CHITWAN, NEPAL by Raj Narayan Chaudhary, Surya Bahadur Thapa

“…A field experiment was conducted at Agronomy farm of AFU Rampur, Chitwan during rainy season of 2019 to evaluate seed priming on the growth and productivity of DBSR. The treatments consisted of four priming methods {Control (no-priming), Hydro-priming (24 hrs tap water soaking + 12 hrs shade drying), KCl priming (24 hrs solution soaking, @ 20.74 g/ltr + 12 hrs shade drying), CaCl2 priming (24 hrs solution soaking , @ 22.2 g/ltr + 12 hrs shade drying) } which were tested on two different seed rates (60 kg ha-1 and 30 kg ha-1) of two rice varieties { Hybrid (Gorakhnath-509) and Inbred (Sabitri)} in split-split plot design with four replications. …”
